'Let us do something, while we have the chance.'

Just something for the fun of it. Hope you enjoy. I don't own Warehouse 13.

Chapter 8—Settings on the Holo Ball

Warehouse 13
Day 3

Mrs. Frederic handed the ball over to Myka, "You and Claudia take this to one of the other rooms and see what information you can get. I was informed that she was given a stimulant that will help her be a little more forth coming. And Claudia, please record it."

Both Myka and Claudia nodded at their partners. But Mr. Kosan shook his head, "We have something else for Pete and Steve. You'll be going with John."

John spoke up, "Yes, we got the location on David Conners and Marcus Diamond. They are in Salt Lake City and David is scheduled to meet with the Delta employees there later this afternoon. While Myka and Claudia check on Ms. Stukowski, we'll go pay David and Marcus a visit." John headed out of the Warehouse.

Pete turned to his mom, "I guess I'll be back. You promise that we'll talk."

"Yes Pete, we will when you get back. And be careful out there." They hugged and she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Pete and Steve headed out following John out the door. When they caught up with John, Steve asked, "So are we driving down there?"

John pointed to the helicopter that was winding up, "No, we'll go a little more direct. It won't be as noticed as a charter plane. But should get us there at about the same time."

Back in the Warehouse Artie turned to the remaining Regents, Mr. Kosan and Mrs. Frederic, "I can do a little more checking on Don Marks. And we still have the rest of the artifacts at their artifact warehouse."

Mr. Kosan pointed at the screen with the artifacts, "We'll see what we can do to identify the rest of them." The Regents gather round and began to review the artifacts. One of them would eventually call out a name and another would provide a little more information about it.

Myka and Claudia were in the records room. There was a desk and table available. Claudia set up her laptop and was ready to record. Myka twisted the ball and the top lifted. As the lights flashed, the figure began to take shape. They could see Sally trying to cover her eyes. Her holoform finally became whole and Sally looked at her surroundings.

"Well Agent Bering. And what do I owe this honor to? By the way, just where am I?" Sally began.

"We like a few answers," Myka responded. She was watching Sally closely.

"You have to know, what is done is done. There is no reverse. I'll be out of wherever this is, shortly. And this must be the records room at the Warehouse." She smiled, "What have you done, collected all of your people in the same building. What an interesting defensive posture."

"And who is going to help you escape?" Myka asked.

"My associates. They should be here any time." Sally was kept looking away.

Claudia looked up from the computer. It was recording this conversation just as Mrs. Frederic requested. Claudia wondered, "So, how are they going to find you?"

Sally pointed to her arm. They could see a small red line on her arm. Sally said, "Beacon. It signals my whereabouts 24X7. They would have been tracking me the entire time. Now that I am in one location, they'll be able to come and get me."

Claudia was busy at her computer. She continued typing through the next questions. Myka asked, "So, who is giving you direction? Who is your boss?"

"Marcus Diamond is my boss. You should have been able to verify that by looking at Diamond Associates records. That's a simple thing. So, why are you bothering with these questions?" She turned away again.

"Who is Don Marks?" Myka followed up. Sally continued to look off in another direction. Myka asked again. It looked as through Sally did not hear her.

Myka looked at Claudia. Claudia shrugged her shoulders, "Don't know. Maybe the ball is not transmitting correctly. She did not appear to even hear you."

Myka picked up the ball. She turned it hoping for a better connection. Then she moved a knob at the bottom. As the lights flashed, the figure began to take shape. Sally's figure had disappeared and was replaced. "Darling Myka and Claudia, how sweet. Why have you called?"

Myka was definitely taken back. "Helena, what are you doing here?" She picked up the ball to see if she did something wrong.

"You did not intend to see me?"

"No, we were expecting…" Claudia stopped. She decided Helena did not need to know and saw that Myka nodded in agreement.

"Let me guess. Since we are in a separate room and Claudia appears to be intent on recording something with the microphone she has in place, this must be serious. Unless I have completely lost track of time, this would be about right. Could it be related to someone named Dominique Marques?" She watched he reaction, "So, not quite the same name. What has he done, updated it? So, something like Dom Mark?" She heard them suck in a breath in surprise. "Are you in a position to tell me what happened? Or am I supposed to guess?" She waited a little while. Myka continued to look at the ball. "You've found that you're under attack."

Myka grew serious, "What do you know of this and how do you know? And the name we have is Don Marks."

"Righty hoe then, it was early 1911. Christina had been gone for nearly nineteen years. By then I had been able to go back and visit with her murders." She saw Claudia grimace at the notion. "I was at home just coming down the stairs for my brother's party. Once again my brother was basking in my glory. This time it was a bit closer to the mark. His new book was When the Sleeper Wakes. Charles was revealing in his ideas and knowledge. There was a gathering much the same as I had described before. Dear Millie was there. She was so sweet. I do miss her. She was there along with Mister Walcott, my partner for some time. He reminded me that we had a meeting with our Regents. You see, we had lost two of them in an accident at sea, or at least at that time it was what was believed to be an accident." She noticed that they both cringed, "So, it is happening?"

Myka decided now was the time to get Artie and maybe Mrs. Frederic, "I'll be right back." Myka went out the room.

"Claudia, you might want to record this. I don't think we have much more time. Your Regent with the bracelet from Genghis Kahn will understand. It isn't the Regents that are under attack. Soon the Warehouse will be the target. If I am correct, the person you were questioning is about to be released or more accurately broken out."

A/N Please leave a review. Yes, decided to bring H.G. into this one. She'll have some fun with this.
